A/N: So today was the 'Day Of Silence' ...more about my experience with it later...

As the seven of them walked to the movie theater, they all seemed oddly quiet.

"So…" Zoey started, trying to get any sort of response from the group. She looked at Quinn, but she just shrugged.

"What movie are we seeing?" Michael asked, Zoey smiled at him, glad that he was at least trying to get a conversation going. Suddenly Lola stopped walking. The group stopped and looked back at her, confused.

"Lola? What's up?" Zoey asked, walking back to her. Lola sat on the road-curb, and rested her chin in her hands, wondering how to phrase it.

"My… er, my cousin just moved to Canada to get married." She lied.

"Oh, uhm, congrads?" Zoey asked, perplexed. She sat down next to Lola, and motioned for the others to do the same.

"They moved to Canada?" Quinn asked.

"Yeah…" Lola said thoughtfully.

"He really seems in love. But I was just wondering…" Lola bit her lip. She needed to at least try to help.

"What do you guys think about homosexuality?" Logan felt his heart stop. They weren't suppose to talk about things like this! He felt Dakoda's hand lightly squeeze his, secretly.

"Oh. Uhm, I don't know." Zoey started awkwardly.

"I guess it's ok. It's a little weird, but it's ok." Zoey shrugged.

"Yeah, I mean, I wouldn't say I'd feel comfortable being around one, but I don't have anything against them." Michael shrugged. Lola felt a pang of sympathy go though her. The way Michael said that he made homosexuals sound like animals…

"Did you know that only fifty years or so ago, homosexuality was considered a mental illness?" Quinn threw in, not making Lola feel any better for Logan. Logan cringed.

"Hey, well…" Chase started.

"This has been extremely interesting, but let's try to get to the theater before anyone gets hurt too bad." Chase stood up, and started walking, not looking to make sure others were following.

"Well that was odd." Dakoda whispered under her breath. Was… was it possible that Chase knows about Logan?

A/N:

Day of silence:

So my parents are like ultra-conserved Christians, and they caught me printing off sheets of paper saying "I am participating in the 'Day Of Silence' to raise awareness towards violence against Gays/Lesbians/Bisexuals/and Transsexuals. I will not be speaking all during school hours. please understand." So... they were not happy. they said they were proud of me standing up for what I believe in, but I didn't know what I was supporting. ...They were going to keep me home from school to stop me from standing up for this.

I told them I did, in fact, know what I was standing up for, in fact, if there's one cause I've striven for, this would be the one. I'm not ignorant. so I told them I was going to stand up for what I believe in, one way or another. if they wouldn't take me to school, I would walk. (about 5 miles, and I'm not very... athletic) so my dad said if there was no way they could change my mind, that they would drive me, but if I participated, there "would be serious ramifications" (as though using bigger words would make me conform to his beliefs, instead of standing up for my own) so he dropped me off at school, and said "don't participate or else.' I said 'I love you, but standing up for what I believe in is how you raised me.'

So I get to school, and see Steven. (the guy I like; now my boyfriend. :D ) and then it hits me: stand up for what you believe in? or go out with Steven? so I told Steven everything,(before school, so I was still talking) and he was sooooo great about it...

but seriously... parents should support their kid's in what they believe, even if they don't support what they believe.

sorry, ramble-y, but yeah, I'm pretty pissed that I can't go out with Steven tonight... maybe your reviews will give me comfort! (and of coarse, as always, fuel me to write more)

So Review PLEASE!! ;P
